After being engaged for 3 years, Ola & Eppo decided their engagement took long enough and they wanted to get married this summer. The only thing; this summer meant somewhere within the upcoming 10 weeks! But that didn't scare them, or me, off. The wedding was small and intimate where half of the guests was dutch and half of the guests was polish. That fact was sometimes kind of a challenge for the wedding couple. In the end the wedding was a beautiful mix of dutch and polish traditions with the ceremonies as a highlight; a dutch one in The College Hotel, with a polish translator, and a polish one in the Sint Paulusparochie.

One day after some bubbles and yet another conversation about our international wedding (we were famously engaged for 3 years) we thought: ‘ Enough, it needs to happen this year. Let’s do it in August!’. Shortly after we realised we have 10 weeks to pull it off. And that’s when we decided that it would be a mighty fine idea to hire a wedding planner.

Sabine's main responsibility was to help us with the day schedule and to execute that planning on the D-Day. She was also the main point of contact for the vendors. She’s also made some suggestions for the vendor selection and helped with the styling of the ceremony and dinner on the day itself.

All went smooth! It was a great feeling to be able to relax and not worry about little details or problems but simply enjoy the moment. I am usually a total control freak but on the day itself I was completely relaxed about things, they just happened with Sabine’s help.
